Robot-assisted walking therapy is a form of physical therapy that uses a robotic device to help a person whose ability to walk has been impaired as a result of stroke, spinal cord or brain injury, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, or other neurological condition, learn to walk again.

The robotic device moves the legs in a natural, repetitive walking pattern which helps the spinal cord and brain work together to re-route signals that were interrupted. A computer controls the pace of walking and measures the body’s response to the movement. Patients may also see improved circulation and the strengthening of bones and muscles.
